- Seamless co-operation with Firewall
- Blacklisting & Whitelisting
- Alike configuration via same GUI
Dynamic Security Platform
StoneGate IPS and Firewall works seamlessly together providing a dynamic network application
control and attack protection for distributed organizations. While IPS protects from malicious
network activity it can also communicate with other IPSs and Firewalls about the detected security
threads.
Application Control
Together with StoneGate IPS and Firewall security policies, security administrators can go beyond static IP address and port number based access control, which is known from legacy firewalls. Peer-to-peer and streaming applications installed on intranet clients are already traversing through Firewall open ports without problems. Network application identification and integration between the StoneGate IPS and the Firewall ensure that the network traffic allowed through is really what it is expected to be.Attack Protection
StoneGate can identify and block a worm spreading simultaneously on both IPSs and Firewalls. Combined with whitelisting, attacks can be blocked while preserving production-critical traffic. Early quarantine will reduce the time and resources needed for cleaning the worm-infected systems.
Benefits
- Port independent network application access control on distributed organizations
- Protecting from walk-in-worm spreading on the networks
- Early quarantine will reduce the time and resources needed for cleaning the worm-infected systems
